There’s nothing worse than a traditional vending machine helping itself to your hungry wallet without dispensing anything in return. Watching your favorite snack gets stuck on its way towards you is equally frustrating. However, they can win you some laughs!
Here’s a look at some of the epic vending machine fails from across the internet:
The most common (and most frustrating!) vending machine fail. When a product doesn’t dispense correctly, it can cause a huge chain reaction that can’t be fixed without a call to the maintenance team. Plus, you’re left without your snack and your money!
There are many things that vending machines just shouldn’t sell. For example, animals. No matter how cute and cuddly they may look, you won’t want to find them anywhere near your lunch.
Picture this: You’re ready for your usual mid-afternoon snack. You arrive at your local vending machine to find that your beloved bag of chips is out of stock. If you’ve ever found yourself in this situation, it’s not hard to understand the mindset of these angry snackers.
